Nice Guys ...i felt warmly welcome :-) example(me the fat One ;-)) First Impression of KS16: stable As hell....MUCH stiffer than KS 14....needed about 30 minutes to feel real comftable, but After that it's a winner in all terms!!!! And to get used to was because of generell 14 to 16 difference, nothing Special KS thing....What i want to Point out Is that in 35 degrees Celsius and hard pushing i Never got a Heat Warning! Me:95kg so now i take this KS 16 for 4 Weeks to "the Rock"- an Island named KohTao mostly famous for Diving... as the knickname "Rock" implyfies: it has steep hills....and also Bad roads....so me (95kg) riding there in unbelievable Heat will be a good Test of it's capabilities :-) i will Report.....As i just arrived:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
US69 Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share Posted May 13, 2016 First (very short) Report from The Rock: still no overheating issues in The Heat with my kg's :-) i have to say, i normally only Drive in The evening and night(34-36 degree) As on The days in The sun ME would be The One who would collapse first, definitly :-) longest ride was about 25km- 4hours on The Main beaches Streats and foodpaths/Beach Promenade ....which has 2 very very steep inclines...will measured The degrees out later.... down Is no prob at all, Up i only get One of them...on The other The Wheel Stops After 2 thirds....but i am pretty sure it's more than 30 degree this One and because of a curve in Front no Chance to take Speed up! Until now i am VERY impressed about The stability of The 16 and it's integrated Händle/trolley ! the trolley sits very stable in The housing and only comes out both Side if You press The Button Down to The very end. Can be fiddly sometimes, but i See it more As a pro because it's Not getting easy loose! the housing: As i crashed at about some 30kmh plus i can say it's very stable ;-) it only got a big scratch...stilworking fine, no cracks, The Street was massive stone crash was my fault As i Wanted to Show some People Highest Speed of this UFO, but accelerated to fast on a Little downhill Street and then totally Overreacted to The tiltback....and BOOOM puuuh: "just" some Deep brushes/bleedings on right arm, shoulder and back....Could have end much, much worse, i was Lucky...and yes...i got protections...knee, elbow, wrist, Head!!! So now i have to take care of some Wounds in this fu]{#%^ heat, also little Insider: some others surely would have "rolled out" Fine, or? @Keith ;-) more Reports and also a Video/Photos of The Rock and it's inclines to come....forgive me my lazyness until now.....i also got some dives to Do :-) Until now Most impressed about The Heat stability.....before i really had my thoughts that this would Not work out with such a Heavy guy like me in this! conditions... until then... first Koh Tao Rider ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to get used to was because of generell 14 to 16 difference, nothing Special KS thing....What i want to Point out Is that in 35 degrees Celsius and hard pushing i Never got a Heat Warning! Me:95kg Stable indeed. I was surprise how easy I could roll over bumps at high speed with it. Was not possible with my 14" wheel from GW. I did however jump off the wheel during one of the biggest sidewalk bumps at high speed today, which sent the KS16 rolling and tumbling thru the air like a mofo! And the wheel survived! I landed on my feet, and the KS got some cosmetic damage. I decided to make sure everything works, and yes, no faults with the wheel. Even the LEDs were working fine. King Song builds top quality! So I then went a bit later for a short ride. Battery was ~50% and to prove reliability I went for top speed and took the below screenshot (which is real speed, as proven here). Outdoor air temp was 27C. Wheel was operating at about 41C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
